Help Wanted The internet is expanding and changing all the time and it offers us a unique opportunity to provide access to the bible for people all around the world. However there are no proven models for doing this and so we have to try different things and see how we go. This website is part of this.

Friends, Family and Relationships At the heart of being human is relationship. We seek it, we cherish it, we are fulfilled by it. And it is no wonder since God created us to be relational beings, people who relate to each other and to him. Sex is at the heart of creation, but something has gone wrong and only God can fix it. If through the death of Christ I have been freed from sin to live for God, then why do I find living the Christian life so hard? Where is God in Suffering and Pain?
